The services to be provided comprise the undertaking of traffic surveys at specified locations on the M50 Cordon. The Contract must be completed in its entirety and includes a combination of survey types.
The Contract requires Classified Junction Turning Counts (JTC), VO (Vehicle Occupancy), ATC (Automatic Traffic Counts) Pedestrian (JTC PED) and Bus Occupancy (BO) surveys.
